Kayak Rental Program 2021

 

Thank you to all who participated in our Kayak Rental Program in 2021! This program will return in May 2022, and we will update this page when we finalize the 2022 Kayak Rental Program schedule. In the meantime, we'll keep the information from last year's program below so you can learn more about our kayak shuttle program.

Friends of the Chemung River Watershed is partnering with Endless Mountain Outfitters from Sugar Run, PA, to bring River Kayak Rentals to the Southern Tier! Every other Saturday beginning on May 15th, Endless Mountain Outfitters will offer kayak rentals and “BYOBoat” kayak shuttles on the Chemung River. The meeting site for rentals and shuttles will be at the Grove Street Boat Launch in Elmira, and Outfitters will bring you to your kayak launch site further up-river (as far as Bottchers Landing in Big Flats).

Individuals will be required to pre-register their rentals and shuttle prior to the trip. Please pre-register for each event using the links below.
